These are all assumptions and personal beliefs of how things works or how these individuals' minds function. Real causes and effects are likely quite different from what you think. Further unfolding of events will navigate the courses and affect people's perceptions.

I honestly can't think of a single reason why you found it necessary to write this.

Huh?

There was a post in the men's thread that basically cheered the idea of his physical, mental and/or emotional diminishment because he was with a Canadian coach. That was enough to get me cheering for him when I haven't been this season (as much, anyway).

GPF = Means to future ends
Worlds, Olympics = Ends that you wish for.
